Download using curl

Here is an example of how to download a single file using the 'curl' command.

In your panel, right-click on the backup link. In this example it's user/servername_username.tar.gz.

From the popout menu choose 'Copy Link Location'. Paste this into a simple text editor to save for now. It will be a very long URL.

In Mac or Linux, open a terminal. In Windows, open your command prompt.

Run the 'curl' or 'wget' command to download the file.

curl example

Run the 'curl' command with the following syntax:

curl --insecure --output filename.tar.gz "COPIED_LINK_LOCATION"

The filename.tar.gz is one of the file names in your panel on the Backup Your Account page. Make sure you DO NOT include the first part of the filename before the forward slash. If the link in the panel is 'user/servername_username.tar.gz', the filename would just be 'servername_username.tar.gz'.

The COPIED_LINK_LOCATION is the link you copied when you right-clicked the filename and saved the link.

Here is full 'curl' example:

Make sure you put the full URL in double quotes. If you do not, the command will not download the file.
